KUKSIS o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2006-07-18 published
Nina MORLEY,
Professor (1909-2006)
Brilliant University of Toronto researcher's first supervisor
was Charles
BEST, with whom she co-authored an early paper
By Carol COOPER,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Most likely, Nina
MORLEY, a bright high-school graduate from
Kamloops, British Columbia, found her life a bit boring. During
the 1930s, discouraged from working or higher education by her
parents, she spent her life playing badminton, participating
in theatre groups and leading Girl Guides.
So, when offered a free place to stay in Toronto, Nina
MORLEY,
10 years out of high school, headed east on a one-way ticket.
Once arrived, she enrolled at the University of Toronto and eventually
became a researcher there. Her first supervisor was Charles
BEST,
a co-discoverer of insulin; with him, she co-authored one of
her early papers.
She taught at the university while continuing with her research
in the Banting and Best Department of Medical Research, part
of the U of T's faculty of medicine.
Under the supervision of Arnis
KUKSIS, she studied the activity
of the lipases involved in fat absorption from the intestine
and in fat clearance from the blood, resulting in a better understanding
of one of the underlying causes of obesity, heart disease and
strokes. Lipases are the enzymes that break down dietary or blood
fats and free the fatty acids required for absorption by tissues.
Prof. MORLEY co-authored many papers published in leading scientific
journals with Doctor
KUKSIS, her final supervisor, between the late
1960s and late '70s. "Nina was a very determined, independent
person," Doctor
KUKSIS said. "There really wasn't room for supervision."
Nina Hope MORLEY grew up as the second of four daughters of an
English lawyer and his wife. Not only did she excel in high school,
but also at the U of T. The Globe and Mail reported in June of
1939: "Scores of scholarships and prizes studded the list with
special kudos for the elect, none of them could match for sheer
dramatic quality, the performance of Miss Nina H.
MORLEY of Kamloops,
British Columbia, who at 29, and after being out of school for
10 years, won the 1939 Governor-General's silver medal for highest
general proficiency."
Prof. MORLEY, according to the reporter, said she had never thought
much about going to university but, when the opportunity arose,
she went out of curiosity and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Perhaps she had been influenced by a British teacher who once
stayed with the
MORLEY family. For at least 25 years, she corresponded
with Christine Fonntaine, who sent her books as well as letters.
Prof. MORLEY supported herself through her degree by doing odd
jobs and babysitting, graduating in 1941 in home economics. She
interned at Vancouver General Hospital as a dietician and, in
1944, finished her master's degree at the University of British
Columbia. The school hired her as an assistant professor of home
economics.
"She was an excellent professor," said Evelyn
SIMS, one of her
students from that time. "She was compassionate and a great person.
You could talk to her, any time."
At the same time, she worked on her PhD, keeping her research
in one of the wartime huts that served as a classroom. When the
hut burned down, her work went with it. Still, she completed
her doctorate in home economics at Oregon State College in 1957.
From there, she took up research at the University of Toronto
and stayed until retirement. After she retired, she stayed active
with the university, proofreading and editing many papers. She
also travelled extensively and took an avid interest in the history
of the Middle East, even studying cuneiform.
She never married, perhaps because her British parents cared
about the social status of her suitors, perhaps because the Second
World War intervened.
Said a friend, Shirley
FRASER: "
She believed that everyone was
put on Earth for a reason and that everyone, whether in work
or in life, had it within them to live up to their full potential
even if they had to be berated into believing it."
Nina Hope MORLEY was born in Kamloops, British Columbia, on December,
14, 1909. She died in Toronto on May 9. She is survived by her
sister, Brenda.
